blank

Let’s play a game. If you ask 100 Ghanaians to list their five topmost priorities in the country, how many of them do you believe, in this current climate, would list construction of a national cathedral amongst their top ten uses of taxpayer money?

If this issue was not raised by government no one would even be thinking about it, and yet here we are, our official budget statement for the year makes provision for the National Cathedral Ghanaians were explicitly told would not involve taxpayer money.

Last week, Chris-Vincent Agyapong Febiri, the Founding Editor of GhanaCelebrities.Com noted in an article that the Government of Ghana’s direct or indirect role play in the building of a national cathedral goes against the wall of separation of the State and the Church.
He said: “The wall between the State and the church, defined by the constitution of Ghana is thick but the incumbent NPP government does not seem to give a hoot—and the government is jumping the wall to help the church with our supposed limited State resources.”
Since the government of Ghana is keen on getting married to the church, James Kwabena Bomfeh, a former Youth Organiser of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), aka Kabila has filed a lawsuit at the Supreme Court to restrain the government from ‘building’ a national cathedral.
James who was earlier in court on the same issue wants an interlocutory injunction to restrain the construction of the controversial 5,000-seater Cathedral.
